worship

Each Sunday during the school year, we have two services—one at 9:30 am and one at 11:00 am. During the summer months, we gather for one service at 10 am.

Attendance on a Sunday is often 100 strong – big enough that you won’t feel uncomfortable checking us out for the first time. We start each service by lighting the chalice and typically include readings, hymns, instrumental and vocal music, meditations, a time for all ages [children gather with the service leader in front for a story or short themed conversation before they go to their classrooms], an offering, and a sermon by our minister or by a guest speaker. Services run about an hour.

Our focus includes a wide variety of religious, philosophical, personal, and social issues. Since we honor the wisdom of the world’s religious traditions, readings from the sacred texts of one or more of these traditions are featured in a service. Our minister and a lay Worship Associate lead the service.
